InDesign Exporting to ePub adding extra frames

When I export my InDesign file to ePub I keep getting extra frames (gray rectangles) in the ePub. I tried different export settings but keep getting the same result. What am I doing wrong? Here is link to ePub. please help!

Okay, I figured out what was wrong. I had two frames on top of each other in my indesign file. I was anchoring the top frame and using it to create Articles in the Artciles pane. The extra frame behind my images was used to create a shadow effect. Next time, I'll just use shadow effect.

Preview renders adding extra frames exponentially in Premiere Pro CC 2014

Having this strange anomaly happen when rendering previews. The preview render dialogue box starts adding extra frames and the thing becomes an exponential loop gradually moving to 100% but never reaching it even if the render is only 10 frames long.
On a Z800 with dual X5570 12GB RAM Intel processors Nvidia and Blackmagic Decklink 2 video cards.
It most seems to be happening around PPro generated title GFX and with dissolves. The strange thing is I can render small sections by setting discrete in/out render areas, but there is always a small section that won't render. This has just started happening on the latest 2014 update of CC.
Have been using CC for the previous 12+ months without incident, so it would seem to be something in the latest version. Not killing me, but it is a bit strange and kind of annoying.
Anyone else having a similar issue?
cheers Pete.

This sounds like bug that was fixed in the update released this morning (CC2014.0.1. aka, 8.0.1). Please let us know if the update does not resolve your exact issue.

FLV files exported with Alpha have extra frames after end of sequence.

Sequence is 588w x 486h Animation+ codec, talent chroma-key (Conduit) on track 2 with no background on track 1. Flash 8 is installed. When I export using the QuickTime Flash export component using On2 VP6 with Alpha Channel settings, the resulting FLV has additional frames up to around 20 seconds for a 2 minute sequence. These additional frames are a freeze of the last frame in the sequence. I tried several different sequence codecs/Spark codec with same result. Even setting an In and Out on the sequence does not help.
One symptom I have noticed, is that when I click in the timeline beyond the last frame of video, I still see the last frame of video in the Canvas (But not in the BlackMagic video card output). Normally I would see black or checkerboard.
Anybody heard of any conflicts with the Flash Export component dircect from the timeline or via a batch export.
Exporting an Item Settings QuickTime (Animation+) files and then using Flash Encoder does work, but I am trying to avoid the extra steps. (250 sequences to export)
I suspect I have an issue with the export component, but I wanted to see if anybody else has experiences this before I reinstall FCP and Flash software.

I have found what I believe the cause of the extra frames issue here, so I thought I would post it for others.
This appears to be caused by a problem between the Adobe FLV Export Component and QuickTime 7.2.  Adobe's website says that Flash encoder has issues with non 44.1 kHz audio.  Changing the sequence settings to 44.1 and rendering the audio solves the problem and FLV files exported from the timeline or via batch export are the correct length.
Exporting FLV files using either Spark or On2 VP6 with alpha, used to be a breeze with awesome results.  I do this all day to support our Flash developers.  The audio issue is easy to work around, but I also get random errors in the alpha channel of these movies now.  These single frame errors appear as black flashes.  There is nothing in the timeline that would appear to cause this.  Re-exporting sometimes fixes it, or simply moves the error somewhere else in the timeline.    This may also be related to QuickTime 7.2, but I don't know.
If anyone has experience these flashes in the alpha channel of exported FLV files please let me know how you resolved it.  This is a major productivity killer.
Thanks....

Incorrect images from .indb file export to ePub in Indesign CS6

I am having problems exporting images to ePub and get a different result from the same file depending on whether I export directly from the .indd file or from the .indb file.
When I export to ePub from the individual chapter (.indd) file, everything is fine and the images appear in the correct locations where they have been anchored.
When I export via the book (.indb) file, images are being replaced with the incorrect file in the resulting ePub.
Looking at the HTML, it seems not all images are being exported from the .indb file and when the image is missing, Indesign is substituting the next available image from the alphabetical list in the images folder so I'm getting incorrect images peppered throughout the book.
Any idea where I've gone wrong and how to fix it? I've produced several ePubs with images and never come across this before.
More details on how I've set up the files and any other info I think might be relevant below if needed.
- I'm using Indesign CS6 (8.0.1)
- I'm producing an 11 chapter book.
- Each chapter is a separate .indd file for ease of editing.
- These 11 files have been added to an .indb file for export to ePub.
- Images are all anchored to their captions within the text.
- On Export to ePub settings for images I have selected to insert a page break before the image and that settings apply to anchopred objects.
Nothing else is selected (I don't want to preserve appearance from layout.)
- I'm using the Articles panel feature for order of content.
- In the original file supplied, the images were placed as .tiff images. I saved them to jpeg and relinked them using the "relink to folder" and "match same file but this extension" options.
- No links are flagged as missing.
Any help much appreciated.

The solution points to how, it appears, the book panel export is functioning: each file exports a set of tags referenced to itself; file01 adds a "1" to its tags, and so forth. What I was able to do was use a file referencing all of the tags in the style suite in two ways:
first, I exported to an epub the single file, creating a fairly clean CSS, which I then extracted and renamed;
then, making certain that file was the "source" file in the book panel, I mapped for export all of the tags, being careful to be certain each tag/class combo was same as in renamed clean CSS;
I synchronized the whole shebang;
I exported to epub, adding my clean CSS as an external style sheet, selecting only "include embeddable fonts".
Bingo!

Exporting InDesign Book to Epub (general questions)

Re: InDesign CC
http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/article.asp?BaseFolder=prcgen&File=opfguides.htm
http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/article.asp?BaseFolder=prcgen&File=cover.htm
I've created a 366 page book using about 32 individual .indd files and have some general exporting-to-epub questions.
1. Images.
My images are placed .ai and .psd files that have names I can understand, such as picture-of-this.ai and picture-of-that.psd. When InDesign exports to epub, the images are renamed to something that a species whose native language is binary can understand. For example, this and that get renamed to 12345.jpg and 67890.jpg. And then there is also a funky naming convention that keeps the original name but adds _fmt.jpeg to it.
Is it possible for me to export to epub and keep original file names?
2. content.opf metadata
Ultimately my epub needs to be converted into Kindle format. Amazon provides a Kindle Previewer that converts the file into their required .mobi format and that works, but some minor customization is required to get it to work right. The minor customizations include assigning the cover page, the table of contents (toc), and in my opinion, an even more important start page.
My cover page, toc, and start page exist as individual .indd files.
According to the mobipocket references (provided above), I need to add a few items to the content.opf file:
For the cover:
<metadata> <meta name="cover" content="my-cover-image" /> </metadata>
<manifest> <item href="MyCoverImage.jpg" id="my-cover-image" media-type="image/jpeg" /> </manifest>
For the table of contents:
<guide> <reference type="toc" title="Table of Contents" href="mytoc.html"/> </guide>
For the start page:
<guide> <reference type="start" title="Start here" href="starthere.html"/> </guide>
So, I can use Dreamweaver easily enough to open the content.opf file and manually insert those codes, but is there a way I can pre-code their key values into the InDesign page so that they are automatically placed in the proper positions on export?

Hi Michael.
That's a good suggestion about inserting jpg's into the InDesign document and then exporting to epub. I've done that before and it's worked quite well, especially with consideration to file size. However, this particular book has over 130 graphics and it's also going to the printing press... so I'm trying to keep my workload to be as efficient as possible. So you wouldn't have known that, and again, that's a great suggestion.
I have not been able to get that plugin to work, and it's also no longer necessary. Kindle has a previewer that automatically converts the file to .mobi format, and allows the user to view the .mobi file through viewing screens that represent the Kindle device:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000765261
Thanks for the info on the ALT text. I need to do that.... I've also looked through the File Info window tabs and did not find any area that seemed to allow me to enter that information.
I have previously created and published on Kindle one book that was one single InDesign file, and as you suggested, had the cover and TOC with everything else. Unfortunately, there too, I had to manually enter the cover, start, and toc code using Dreamweaver.
It looks like at this time there's no easy way to get around manually updating the .html files.
Thanks for making the time to reply.

Pesty extra frames

Anyone know how to paste frames into the timeline without Flash adding extra frames at the end?
THanks.

you can add as many frames as you want by inserting (once) at that number of frames beyond the last frame.
but if you want to copy and paste frames and you do that in the middle of a timeline, you will add extra frames unless you highlight the number of frames you are going to paste.

Extra frame added on export?

my aiff file is 33 seconds and 18 frames long
when i compress it to AC-3 dolby 2.0, it comes out as 33 seconds and 19 frames.
which is screwing my loop up.
anyone know why this extra frame is added and how to prevent it?
thanks,

You know, i optimized a video once, and it was very jerky when it played at about 40% speed (slow-motion), vs. when I import non-optimized..
I dont want to jump the gun yet, as the below doesnt really make sense, at least to me, BUT......
What I noticed is that the flickering of the clips with applied effects only happens when there an opening
transition in the very beginning of the project.. I placed a "fade-in" transition in the beginning so that the video fades in as it starts.... As soon as i removed it.. it exports fine, no flickering, no nothing, back to normal..
.... I also tried a few new small projects with and without the transition in the beginning and I would get the same pattern after export: with a trans in the beginning of the clip with video effect, -- it would blink after being exported.. As soon as beginning trans removed -- back to normal.. I know... i doesnt make sense...
I wonder if you can produce this:
[fade in trans] [normal clip] [clip with Dream effect] [some other trans] [clip with some other Effect]
and
[normal clip] [clip with Dream effect] [some other trans] [clip with some other Effect]
Thoughts?? I am scratching my head now!

Exporting InDesign document to epub

InDesign exports documents to ePub. It works well.
But afterwards the document needs more formatting. I have read the Adobe document entitled 'Producing ePub Documents from InDesign' but I am not able to open the file (after unzipping the archive) so that any of the existing xhtml coding is visible.
Does anyone have any further documentation regarding producing ePub files?

From InDesign 6.0 to 6.0.3, there were issues with font embedding, but they were quite easily overcome by editing the EPUB file (see fix here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/330027). With 6.0.4, the font embedding feature is broken. Not all the type faces are copied into the Fonts folder. The CSS file doesn't reference all the type faces used and the encryption.xml file doesn't reference them either. It's possible to fix the EPUB file so that the fonts are embedded, but it's a huge pain, so stick with 6.0.3 if you're serious about EPUB publishing.
As for using the PDFXML Inspector, I wasn't detailed enough in my explanation (sorry to create that confusion). When you open an XML or XHTML file with PDFXML Inspector, extra breaks are inserted in order to make the code easier to read.
So the following code...
Ehene nemquunto tet, omnit untium aut aut molupta temquia saperum venis aut dit, conem dolut am cus rehendiatur? Ducitibusam et qui culpa dolum volore provitaque sit accum rerspelit fugia ped ma velicipsanis consequ aturibus dolum laut a dolest, cuptis es dolorro ma aliam sit optatur, eos alique se veris cus in repellabo. Aquiasp icaborerae. Nat as sum arum harchici audanis et verrore henimoluptas utecepuda ped que odignimo delit voluptatat quosa etur?
becomes...

The line breaks are rendered as spaces in the EPUB file, which is not always a problem. But it can be a problem, for example, if a bold word is followed by a period at the end of a sentence. In that case, an extra space will be added between the bold word and the period.
I just discovered that you can overcome this issue if you turn off the "Pretty Printing" option by choosing View > XML > Pretty Printing. Do this before opening an EPUB file and making edits to it.
So thanks to Jeremy, I looked into PDFXML Inspector a little deeper and now I recommend it for editing EPUB files! It's not as user-friendly and robust as a professional XML editor, but it gets the job done for free.

Premiere pro cs4 is adding an extra frame to my sequences

Premiere Pro CS4 is adding an extra frame to my sequences so that when I import them into Encore an extra, black frame plays at the end. In the program monitor my sequences stop at the frame I have set the sequence to end at but the counter on the bottom right of the program monitor shows that an extra frame has been added. This duration, not the duration I have set for my sequence, is what Premiere Pro is importing into Encore. I have spoken to Adobe technical help and the representative was having the same issue but she could not resove it. Help! Thank you!

Hello Wil.
For various reasons, I always add Black Video to the end of my Sequences, to allow for any extra Audio Units. As I also Export DD 5.1 SS, I allow 02 sec. of Black Video at the beginning, to allow set-top players time to "lock onto" the DD 5.1 SS Audio Track. Many high-end units require this extra time at the beginning, too.
Good luck to the OP,
Hunt

Premiere adding 15 frames to the end of every clip in export/sequence

Last night I exported an AVCHD 1080p Square Pixel sequence to a H.264 video file. When I checked on it this morning, the export had 15 frames added to the end of every clip in my video. I checked my project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, and noticed that those extra frames were also added to my sequence. Any clue as to what would cause this?

Can you post a screenshot of your timeline.

InDesign CS5.5 EPUB export not showing cover image in Adobe Digital Editions

I have a document that I am trying to ensure is reflecting the cover image prior to uploading to several EPUB sites like google and Barnes and Noble. I am using Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, Firefox (EPUBReader) to do the troubleshooting on the document. Calibre shows the cover image Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) does not. Are their any known problems with ADE not reflecting the cover image that I need to be aware of before I continue working on this?
The ADE help says the following:
"Once the items are in your library, there are two ways to view the content of any bookshelf. You can view thumbnails of your items. The thumbnail is the cover page of the item (or just the first page if it doesn't have a cover page). In this view, you see the set of thumbnails and some information about each item (author, title). You can also sort the order in which the items are shown by author, title, date created, number of pages, and so forth."
Here is basic informaiton. I have a cover page in my export to EPUB but ADE will only show the first page. Again Calibre shows the cover page.

The project is a book (indb) composed of multiple documents (indd)
Exporting as book as an EPUB
On general tab I am "Use existing image"
I am rasterizing the first image in Indesign via the "Object - Object export options" but I am not selecting that option when on the general tab of the Export to EPUB options. I am chosing a file from my disk. I thought that maybe the file name was too long but I changed the image to "cover.jpg" and reexported it but it still does not work.
Here are the contents of the content.opf file with all the pointers. I have updated the file as I believe you can tell with guides, creation date, etc....
It passes the SIGIL check.
The image name is Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg. It is 300 dpi and 1650 x 2550. I could also cut in the one that I did for cover.jpg but it only replaces the file name.

I have also been trying to get this cover image to display on PC for NOOK but it appears that everyone is having hits problem too. I have followed some trouble shooting guides and renamed the jpg image, Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg to cover.jpg but that doesn't seem to work either for NOOK.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. I am new to InDesign (I know you probably hate hearing that, but I have gotten so close to being done overcoming all the new user hurdles). I think this is my last one before uploading to the appropriate sites - PS. I got the cover page to show up on the Kindle but not Adobe's own product.
Thanks

ebookjunkie, I have just used InDesign to publish two very short "books" (.99 cent variety) and started this thread with the first question. Look to Bob for the expert advice. This is neophyte advice from someone moving from publishing a full book using Word to EPUB/Kindle and now using InDesign to publish to EPUB/Kindle.
First ADE is useless. I say this out of frustration of trying to use it to troubleshoot problems and it has so many problems in displaying an EPUB that you spend a lot of time troubleshooting ADE issues rather than EPUB problems. The problems are not limited to but won't display a cover page properly, text wrapping is iffy, Drop caps a problem, bringing over supported items like drop caps, all small caps, etc.... are also issues as best I can tell. Humble opinion is delete off your desktop. I use the following to troubleshoot my EPUB's/Kindle books on my Windows platform; Calibre, Barnes and Noble's Nook for PC and iPhone iTunes for EPUB (Sigil to look for errors); and for Kindle, Kindle previewer and Kindle for the PC. Even after doing this, I just today saw my book a buyer's Android "Reader" and the pictures did not display at all. So it is publish once and test everywhere! Unfortunately, you just can't test all the possible devices and iterations of readers. (I am from IBM and we couldn't do it, so how publishers are supposed to figure it out is beyond me!)
On the absolutely great news end, you will see a lot of problems about placing images on the iPad with a lot of workarounds. They apparently (Apple) have fixed this as my two publications show images nicely now on both the iPhone and iPad with the iTunes bookshelf/reader. They were "microdots" when viewed previously. I did nothing to fix it and was just not going to publish to the iPAd and just tested them a few weeks ago and they display perfectly. So Apple has fixed the problem. If it looks good on the Nook for PC, it should look good on the iPAD/iPhone now as best I can tell.

Recent InDesign change suppresses non-printing layers when exporting to EPUB

I hate it when development teams quiety "fix" features I've come to rely on.
I am using InDesign CC 9.2.
Until a recent update, when I exported a book to EPUB from InDesign, layers which were set to show but not print were included in the export. I relied on this because my documents include a non-printed Table of Contents block on the first page of each piece included in the anthology. This block causes the correct page to be set when generating the TOC (notice that it's on the page facing the title, not the title page itself) and is used to print the correct title on the title page of each story and running headers throughout the body.
(An example document - Click for full size)
Up to at least January 2014, when I exported to EPUB, that visible-but-not-printed block was included in the XHTML output. I could then modify CSS to optimize for e-reader display and the title and author names would appear at the top of each piece. Sometime within the past couple of months, that has changed: layers that are not printed also do not export to EPUB. This wouldn't be so big a problem except that the printed title in the image above also is not output to the EPUB file, because it's a text variable in the underlying master page.
If you like reading and messing with markup, as I do, the next two images illustrate the problem.
(The old output - Click for full size)
The new output:
(The new output - Click for full size)
I have five volumes of the anthology so far (comprising roughly 30 stories each) with a new one coming out every three months. Now that this change has been thrown at me, I need to get it resolved or come up with a good workaround while I only have a couple hundred documents to update, instead of double that a year from now.
Thank you for any help or suggestions you can provide!

Going back through every document to override Master Page objects just to get the elements to export is not a realistic workaround.
The change that suppresses visible but non-printing objects is annoying, but at least it's a documented change in 9.2. The change that suppresses all Master Page elements as well is not documented (or at least not documented in an obvious way) and so to me it's a bug.
Ideally, if these new changes are required by some users, the old behavior could at least become an option: the export to EPUB dialog could add checkboxes for "Include non-printing objects" and/or "Include Master Page elements" so that users like me are not left with no way to continue to use existing functionality.

When I try to export an InDesign document I can't choose any export options (epub, ea). I use InDesign CC2014.

I need to export every clip in a sequence as it's own file. I select an In/Out for the clip with an X and ask for an export on that portion. Some of them will get the last frame of the preceding clip tagged on to the front of the export. I thought it was AME doing this but it's a Pr problem.
I have footage shot at 59.94 which gets exported to 29.97. IF the clip marked In/Out for export starts on an odd frame, it gets the extra frame from the preceding clip. If it starts on an even frame, no problem.

Aside from ProRes being designed for editing, the short answer is that ProRes is a much less compressed, intra-frame codec and mp4 is a highly compressed codec which I believe is long GOP. You can Wiki the difference, but mp4 is designed for deliverables such as web uploads. The file sizes are small due to the compression.
ProRes is compressed, but not nearly as much, and the intra-frame nature of the codec makes for easy editing.
The real issue is that neither FCP nor Motion really like non-editing codecs like mp4, h.264, m2v. You may be able to get it to work, but more often than not, you'll just be setting yourself up for frustration.
While there will be slight quality loss from converting your video, it's not as drastic as analog generational loss. Chances are very good that you can go from mp4 to prores, back to mp4, and not be able to see any quality loss by eye.
Even in the digital world, it's best to start off with the highest quality master you can get your hands on, so that when you're working, you suffer the least amount of quality loss. But the state of compressors these days is so good as to allow us to work with lower res files and still finish with a quality that is extremely close, if not indistinguishable from the source.
Hope this helps.

Export to .epub fails - InDesign CS5

Hi All,
When exporting an .epub from InDesign CS5, a simple warning box appears that states 'Cannot Export "filename.indd." Export Failed.' I can only click 'OK' and when I do, I'm simply retuned to my book document.
I was able to view the export log and here is what I'm seeing:

Thanks for your time and suggestions here, I'm really stuck!

Hi Marcus, thanks for your suggestion. Yes, unfortunately, I've already tried this and it hasn't made a difference. Any other suggestions?
Thanks again,
Dallas
